Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Halloweenie]

We have improved but they are better than us by a lot.

Ayo & Giorgi = 4-12, 4 reb, 2 assists, 6 TO's, 8 pts. That loses us every game

You just pointed out that two freshman having pedestrian games will lose us every game. That should really take everybody off the ledge. This team is ridiculously young....but getting better

Griffin and Kipper both had decent games imo. AJ as well.

Yeah, I'd certainly say that it looked like AG and Kip played determined.

Who is coming in when kipper fouls out

Career high for someone on the other team (Haarms). How many times have we heard that one?

 

[Oldhickory]

They’re the better team. We’ll get there.

What's frustrating is that we have equal or better talent but they are just a MUCH better team than we are right now.

Has the three second rule been modified somehow?

I have a hard time believing Haarms's career high rebounds is only 9

 

[skyIdub]

The only chance we had against Haarms was to go early and often to Giorgi and get him on the bench with fouls. Bad offensive game plan.

Is there a way to track this? I admit I am very biased, but I SWEAR this happens against us more than what is normal.

 

[Deleted member 236589]

With way more fouls called on us in the most critical junction. Momentum killer.

The refs were fine. The offensive execution was not. They're the better, more experienced team and they beat us at their place. Nothing more to it than that.

At the end of the day, Purdue took Giorgi and Ayo out of the game and we couldn't stop Edwards or Haarms

Don't agree..shooting is a talent..we are a weak shooting team. Size and strength are important if not a talent. We don't have any.

Other than Haarms or Edwards, the rest of their team are role players.

Despite our height disadvantage in most games our incessant fouling , less than mediocre shooting and let them drive the lane are our Achilles heel. Other than that.......

We don't have anyone near the level of Edwards (at this point) and have absolutely no answer to their size. So, try not to be frustrated.

I think he's playing fine, just giving up way too much size in that matchup.

Can’t finish tonight. Still a junkyard dog though.
